piece of cake since Kendrick Lamar released his landmark album good kid
maad city and subtitled it a short film I've been noticing more and more rappers
compared their music and other music in the genre to movies we see it in this
moment from the miniseries J Cole released with his album 2014 Forest
Hills Drive I need to add like I was writing the soundtrack to a movie they
only really existed in my mind a similar description comes from ASAP Ferg talking
about one of my favorite biggie songs suicidal thoughts one song one whole
verse bars no hook crazy movie cinematic we even see this trend in the video for
ASAP 12 each strap when we get an interruption from ASAP Rocky don't talk
to these niggas nah now it's time to show these niggas show these niggas like
a movie that was selling patch I was worried about the rest so I started to
ask myself what can make a song feel more like a movie now of course in the
written verses themselves an emphasis on visual imagery well-defined characters
and consistent storytelling can create a narrative in an album but what I'm
wondering in this video is how have artists in the hip-hop and rap genre
specifically pushed this like a movie concept even further than just literary
lyrics to provide the listener with a full cinematic album experience to
explore this let's start at biggie suicidal thoughts right away we hear two
sound effects that set the scene a phone dialed in a phone ringing now at first
it may seem obvious that sound effects would always make a song more like a
movie but when I explored more examples I found that there were a number of
different ways to implement these types of sounds some a lot more cinematic than
others for example if we check out Drake's one dance we can see he uses a
gunshot sound effect to transition into the last verse
got a Hennessy but even though I do like that moment in the song it doesn't
actually fit into what they're singing about so it doesn't actually make the
verse more cinematic are just like nos and Eminem on the other hand have shown
how gunshot sound effects can help better paint a picture and make a verse
more vivid I got up the cops shot a bus stop glass bursts of bean drops a tiny
what makes a sound effect in a song cinematic is when it helps place a verse
in scene as if we can imagine where the artist is when delivering it and what
they're doing while delivering it this happens in Kendrick Lamar is you when
one well-placed sound effect makes his drunken self-loathing in the hotel room
just that much more palpable for the listener
this whole verse is about Kendrick thinking of everyone he's let down and
letting these thoughts bubble up and trying to push them away with alcohol
and these things are all fully expressed in that single gulp since in that moment
he's starting to think of another memory he's saying and that time you but after
another swig he gets distracted with the feeling that he's about to vomit
successfully repressing another dark memory here this one cinematic moment
can encapsulate most of what Kendricks trying to achieve in the entire written
verse and equally sound effects can be layered into the beat itself creating a
sort of soundscape that works more like a backdrop for the MCS delivery if we
look back to Eminem in Kendrick we can find two different examples of including
a siren sound in the beat the difference is on Eminem song hip-hop being in a
state of 911 sound more metaphorical it doesn't make you feel like you're
entering the world of the song in the same way we do in tracks like one shot
two shot my fault or 97 Bonnie and Clyde just to name a few
and xxx however Kendrick sets the scene of the phone call taking place right
after a murder and it's the sirens still blaring in the background that tell us
this man is calling from the scene of the crime
making the recent death just that much more visceral for the listener
now the second main cinematic element we find again and again on rap albums are
skits which also may or may not serve to make the verses themselves more
cinematic while some lead into a song and give you a better picture of the
setting or the character or the scene others are isolated and stand on their
own for example on one of my favorite more recent albums
Saba's bucket list project here's one person leave a voicemail at the end of
every song with their own personal bucket list go chance the rapper here
playing drums learn how to play the drums as always been on my bucket list
oh trying to just take it the girl now while I love this project and I love
this concept I do admit that it doesn't make the album more like a movie
while they provide a thematic backdrop they don't make the imagery in the songs
themselves more vivid or the characters more complex on the other hand
interludes like those on MF dooms operation doomsday or Kendricks good kid
maad city almost act like an establishing shot would in a TV show
providing context for the listener for a richer experience of the actual music
itself I got a pack of blacks in a beat CD get though free sale free with doom
especially introductions and interludes like these are essential to his project
which centers around building these supervillain personas this in my opinion
is also what makes biggie suicidal thoughts so revolutionary it takes the
traditional rap skit and blends it perfectly into the song itself blurring
the lines between the two the result sounds more like the ending of a dark
musical than the last song on a quadruple platinum record and the
depression and isolation Biggie's expressing in the verse is only
amplified by the fact that he doesn't even seem to hear a puff begging him to
calm down on the other end of the phone
while most hip-hop songs especially in the mainstream are just aimless free
association accounts of a rapper's lifestyle I found that I prefer songs
that bring me into a hotel room or a car or a club or out onto the street and
really inhabit that space and even little things can have a huge effect if
we return to the two sound effects that open biggie suicidal thoughts we can see
that the producer lord finesse fades the first to the left and the second to the
right almost as if we're seeing a classic split screen phone call in a
movie every little detail brings us further into the scene before big
delivers the album's final verse as if we're sitting right beside him for the
tragic gunshots at the end the more I look into this trend the more I think
it's one of the main reasons why hip hop has lately become my favorite genre to
listen to as someone who loves poetry music and film it's almost overwhelming
to listen to artists who can take these three vastly different mediums and fit
them together into one vivid listening experience and with albums like good kid
maad city setting the standard for modern cinematic rap and high-quality
production tools more and more available all the time to up-and-coming artists
I'm really just excited to see what comes next
